Raw File Destination Access Mode Filename From Variable Problem
Dec 31, 2006
I have a raw file destination and am using a variable to store the filename. In an earlier task, I create the value in the variable. User:Filename ... set to C:Test.txt.
When I run the package, I get the "Error: 0xC0202070 at DFT Tekelec Call Events, RFD Tekelec [1365]: The file name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters". error. I then set a breakpoint to examine my variables on the DataFlow pre-execute event and found my variable showing the value "C:\Text.txt" ... so apparently XMLA is adding the escape character when it stores the value in the variable but not retracting it when it uses the value as the filename.
What am I missing? Can I not use pathing in the variable? And if that's the case, how do I specify a path. Went back through my Rational Guide to Scripting SSIS but did not find this addressed specifically ... my second option being build the fiilename by script and set the raw file destination property directly via script.
Why does the raw file have an option for a variable path and the flat file destination does not? Not having this feature makes it impossible to work with variable environments. Please add this option to the Flatfile Destination.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
I am wanting to capture the file name I am using to load data from and use it in a SQL statement to insert it along with the data that I load.
I am using a ForEach container to load all my .txt files but cannot figure out how to capture the name of each source file as it loops through the files and then add it to my insert statement that is populating my history table. I would think that the ForEach container has that information, but I do not see how to access it and assign it to a variable that I could use in my SQL statement.
In a Data Flow Task, I have an insert that occurs into a SQL Server 2000 table from a fixed width flat file. The SQL Server table that the data goes into is accessed through an OLE DB connection manager that uses the Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
In the OLE DB Destination, I changed the access mode from Table or View - fast load to Table or View because I needed to implement OLE DB Destination Error Output. The Error output goes to a SQL Server 2000 table that uses the same connection manager.
The OLE DB Destination Editor Error Output 'Error' option is configured to 'Redirect' the row. 'Set this value to selected cells' is set to 'Fail component'.
Was changing the access mode the simple reason why the insert from the flat file takes so much longer, or could there be other problems?
My task is to read the filename from a database table and transfer the flat file data in to a table. In SSIS,I am able to fetch the file name using a Data Reader Source; but how to pass this fileName parameter to Flat File Source ?
In DTS I have used ActiveX script to pass filename variable as flatfilecon.Source. Any help ?
I am try to transfer some tables data from one database server into another database server. I create a package in SSIS, and I use a variable to pass each table name. In Data flow, I use a OLEDB Source, but I cannot set the Data access mode to Table name or view name variable. Ever time, I will get this following error info "===================================
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [31]]: A destination table name has not been provided.
(Microsoft Visual Studio)
===================================
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0202042 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)

Some one can tell me what is the reason, or give me some examples.
Getting Access Denied To FileName Error When Using the Execute Sql Task (With File Connection) into a Foreach Loop Container.
Please Note :
I have a folder containing .sql files. I have to dynamically loop through the files and send them as a File connection Folder to the Execute Sql Task.
When I run this Package I am getting the follwoing error :
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path 'C:ProjectsFuzzy Lookup DataFlow ExampleScripts' is denied.".
Also I have logged in to the machine as Administrator and to Sql Server with sa.
I have a stored procedure that (after selecting, incrementing and updating)returns the next sequential filename.I haven't been able to plug it in to the destination textfile filename in myDTS package.I know it has something to do with Dynamic Properties and I can navigate tothe property I want to set, but just can't seem to get the result of mystored procedure into the filename.I know somebody must have done this before.ThanksJoe
Hello, For packages where an MS Access database is the destination, what are some ways to detect whether or not the file is 'in use'? I know there is a lock file associated with Access databases. Could it be as simple as using something from the FileSystem Object to discover whether or not there is a lock file with the same name as the destination database? I'd like to stop the package if the file is in use.
Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following: xp_cmdshell 'dir c:datach*.txt'
or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.
I'm trying to read the filename from a file that I'm downloading by FTP (FTP Component) into a string variable so I can later use it for another part of the process, how can I do this?
Hi.I am trying to create a database based on variables from xp_regread.Somehow I cant pass @dBDir as FILENAME.I get the following error-message :Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 24Line 24: Incorrect syntax near '@dBDir'.What am I doing wrong ?I think the problem is somehow related to a datatype-problem orit is simply not possible to pass a variable to a "createdatabase"-statement.I have checked the xp_regread-output...naturally :) ...and it is correct.Hope someone can help :)regardsMichael----------------------------------------Source-code is as follows:USE masterGODECLARE @dBDir nvarchar(128)DECLARE @dBlog nvarchar(128)EXECUTE xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','SOFTWARESchool-ProjectIRPFDatabase','dBDir',@param = @dBDir OUTPUTSET @dBDir =@dBDir+'IRPF.mdf'SET @dBlog =@dBDir+'IRPF.ldf'CREATE DATABASE IRPFON PRIMARY( NAME = IRPF_db,FILENAME = @dBDir)LOG ON( NAME = 'IRPF_log',FILENAME = @dBlog)GO

I have to download a file via FTP from one of our vendors, the filename is MMDDYYYY.zip, this is a weekly file and is posted between Tuesday and Thursday, so basically I never know exactly what the file is going to be called, to fix that, I added a FTP Task that will download a file if the date = today (Today = Thursday, when the job kicks off), if this fails, try a file where the name = today-1 (Wednesday), if this fails, try today-2 (Tuesday), all of that inside of a Sequence Container and with MaximumErrorCount set to 3. This is fine and it works fine, good.
Now my other issue, the .txt file inside the zip file (1080.txt), after being decompressed, needs to be renamed to MMDDYYYY.txt, where MMDDYYY = to the file I downloaded, but I never know what the file is going to named (MMDDYYYY, MMDD-1YYYY, MMDD-2YYYY).
Is it possible to output the filename of the file that I successfully download to a variable, so I can re-use name?
I'm trying to write a stored procedure in SQL that will make a copy of a file and then append the current date to the end of the copy's filename. I'm storing the date in a variable called @currentdate which is defined as:
may be i'm asking a question that was discussed for billion time, but i can't find exact answer.
So i have access database that generates .xml or xls files by pressing button. So user select from drop down menu id ( e.g. 100,101,102,103 etc) and then file 101.xml or 102.xml or 101.xls or 102.xls is generating.
i need SSIS package to be configured to get filename is variable and then use insert data from xml or xls file to the related table
I don't understand how to pass file name through variable to SSIS package and then work with so called "variable".xls or "variable".xml file. Could you please give detailed answers if it's possible?
Is there a way to configure the XML source component to use a schema file whose filename is in a variable? Now I know it doesn't make any sense to have an XML source whose schema can vary, however, I have a parent package with a ton of child packages, all of which process the same XML input using the same schema. What I would like to do is for the parent to load the filename of the XML input file into a variable, and the filename of the XML schema file into another. Each child would have its XML source configured to pickup these variables from the parent, so that if the location or name of the schema changes, I don't have to edit each package one-by-one. However, it doesn't seem possible to specify anything but a filename for the schema. Any suggestions?
I want to create a SP that creates a new database, so I script-ed out the db and paste the script into new SP gui (SQL 2000). I want to pass it a variable for the data/log file location that is not the default location. The original script looks like this: CREATE DATABASE [PWRR_DDS] ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Data', FILENAME = N'F:SQL SERVER FILESDatabasesdbName.mdf' , SIZE = 3118, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Log', FILENAME = N'F:SQL SERVER FILESDatabasesdbName_Log.LDF' , SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. I replaced the path of the FILENAME variable like this: CREATE DATABASE [PWRR_DDS] ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Data', FILENAME = @DBPath, SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Log', FILENAME = @LogPath , SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, declaring the variables as char(500). The error I get is "Incorrect sybtax near '@DBPath'. Any ideas for workaround? Thanks, EJM
I have one package through for each loop container I am loading all flat files into target table and its working fine.Now I my requirement is to capture the .txt file and loading into sqlserver table.Please check below file name.

from above file name I have to derived below detail.I have variable @File_Name which is used to stored the file name at rune time.Now I want to derived 5 values from the file name as below
I have an OLE-DB Command transformation that inserts a row. If the insert SQL command fails for some reason, I use the "Redirect Row" option to send the row to a script component. Inthere, I get the error description into a string variable in order to log the error into an error table.
For example, if a primary key violation arises, I would like the error description to be "The data value violates integrity constraints". I get it using the ComponentMetadata.GetErrorDescription. When I use the "table or view mode", I get the error description above without any problem. But If I use the "table or view fast load", the description is something like "No status available". But, If I use the error output to fail the component, in the OnError, I get the right error description. Is there a way to have both behaviour, I mean, to be able to redirect error rows to an output and have the cotrrect error description (like the one in OnError event handler) using fast load mode?
My source has 2.2 million of records. I'm performing the incremental load.In the lookup transformation i used the destination table for the reference using Full cache mode.For the first time package executed successfully but when i executed the package second time, Suddenly Package hangs while running.Than i truncate the data from the destination table and restart the SQL Server Services.After doing all this i executed package again and it worked but when i executed package second time, again package hangs up .I have 8GB RAM and i5 2.5 GHz Processor laptop.
I want to do a bulk insert of a file located on a different machine then the SQL Server database.
machine1 and machine2 are running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. SQL Server v8.0 is running on machine2. Neither machine1 nor machine2 are in any domain. (These are servers at a hosting company.)
I use a UNC filename to specify the file to load. It looks something like this:
\machine1.someplace.com eportdata eport200602.txt
I get this error message when I attempt the bulk insert using SQL Query Analyzer:
Server: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not bulk insert because file '\machine1.someplace.com eportdata eport200602.txt' could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.). The share reportdata on machine1 has READ permissions for EVERYONE. What do I need to do enable allow the database machine (machine2) to access the files on machine1?
I am trying to automate a rather complicated file import routine using a DTS package. I'm getting on ok with it but have now reached the limits of my knowledge.
At the moment I am sent a file every month e.g. "perf04-05m1.csv". I then rename it to "import.csv" and run the DTS package. I would like to make the process more dynamic so that the the DTS package takes in the most recent file no matter it's filename e.g. I don't have to re-name the file to "import.csv" in order for the DTS package to run.
I have had a look at BOL and think that I need to use either a Dynamic Properties Task or a Global variable but I'm not sure how to tie it all together, can anyone offer any pointers or know of any good articles I can have a look at. I may also need to dynamically alter some of the SQL statements within the DTS package as well.
I'm using the ForEach File task and masking the files I want to process as ABC??.TXT. It all works well until I drop a file there like ABC12 Copy.TXT, which I don't expect to be process, but the loop still picks it up. Am I using the wrong wildcards?
Hi all, I have created a global variable and it will read the user input from a web application. How can i pass this variable into OLE DB destination SQL command so that i can retrieve the user specified table? Or is there a better way to do this?
Hello, In my Data Flow I have a OLE DB Destination that needs to get the table name to write the data to dynamicaly from a variable I created. So I select "table name or view name variable" from the Data access mode and select my variable below. So far so good, but when I click "ok" I get the following error message :
I am trying to migrate database from old structure to new structure usign SSIS.
The table in new db have extra field that i need to assign it using variable. this is because i have few customer that having different variable value. (meaning for 1 customer, the variable will be fix for all the tables in the database)
my question, without using the Execute Sql Task, can i assign the variable into the the old db destination?
eg my data flow Task is : OLE Db Source - Derived Column - OLE DB Destination.
Example data
Old structure (key = txnID) --------------------- TxnID ChequeNo Bank (chq Bank - Bank in Bank) Amount
My task is to write an SSIS package that picks up just one file from a directory and loads it into a database table. The filename is defined as being "ABC*.txt". So I must pick up only one file that matches that wildcard.
I can see two ways of doing this, but I can't get either to work:- 1. Use a Flat File Source connection and put the wildcard in the ConnectionString. i.e. ConnectionString = "C:\mydirABC*.txt" But SSIS doesn't seem to support that. 2. Use a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator, and configure the enumerator as:- Folder = c:mydir Files = ABC*.txt This works well, but loops round for as many files match the wildcard. Is there any way of forcing it to drop out after the first time round the loop?
